Tlhe ring 12, whichr has the inner rib sections 13 pivotally seciued'thereto,is then seated'upon the face of the cap 30, and thenut 33 is screwed down on the stud 32 to secure the ring12 in place'on the extended handle of the umbrella. To the keys 15, and

16 of each of thei-ib sections, a member, as illustratedin Figures t and 5, is ipreviously attached. 3 These members 14: are provided with bifurcated ends in which slots 18 are provided, the slots being adapted to fit over thekeys15 andfl'fi, and thus articulated ribs of two sectionsand collapsible, are: formed;-

The outer ends of the rib sections 14: are

providedwith dull'shooks 34 which are in serted into; eyelets formed at sip acedea part positions on the periphery of the" umbrella coveringj15 and are secured in thismanner to the covering; The pivoting of inner-rib sections 13 on ring 12 permits the attach ment ofjouter ribs 14, with hooks 34 inserted ion in V the eyelets ,of covering 15, or, the outer ribs 14, if desired may first be attached to inner ribs 13 and the covering 15 stretched until the eyelets snap into position over the hooks 3%. Since ring 12 is smaller than cup 30 screwing; down of nut 33 ensures rigid positioning of rib sections and therefore of the umbrella top.
